Regarding this discussion I think what @ruslo did for his Cmake based
Hunter C++ package manager might be interesting, he included bjam in
ExternalProject execution for CMake and allows to use Boost pretty
seamlessly with CMake.

https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/wiki/pkg.boost
https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/blob/master/cmake/schemes/url_sha1_boost.cmake.in
https://github.com/ruslo/hunter/blob/master/cmake/schemes/url_sha1_boost_library.cmake.in

Perhaps could we add CMake support to boost in this way ? By having a
CMakeLists which proxies to bjam, until we have something better or that
we have a full integration.

Note that I'm a CMake fanboy, even if CMake isn't perfect. :)
